Durreck

The Durreck (3,135 m, also called the Durreckspitze, Italian: Cima Dura) is the highest mountain in the Durreck Group, a South Tyrolean range that divides the Ahrntal valley in the north from the Reintal valley in the south.

One branch runs southwards to the Großer Moosstock (3,059 m) and the other northwards, via the Klausnock (2,819 m), Rauchkofel (2,653 m) and Pojenspitze (2,453 m) near the Obersteiner Holm (2,395 m) above Luttach.

Northeast of the Durreck at a distance of half a kilometre is a very prominent, but unnamed subpeak at 3,056 metres.

The Durreck was first climbed in July 1877 by C. Arnold from Munich and Josef Außerhofer from Rein.

On 20 August 1909 another route up the Durreck was ascended for the first time by O. Primus and F. Schaufler from Innsbruck and H. Schwarweber from Pforzheim, following the northern ridge above the Klausenkees to the top.
